Thomas Jefferson to Patrick Henry (of Rockbridge County), 10 March 1818
To Patrick Henry (of Rockbridge County)
Monticello Mar. 10. 18.
Th: Jefferson to mr Patrick Henry.
Having recieved no answer from Dr Thornton to my offers to let him off of the lease of the Bridge, I consider the lease as continuing. I pray you therefore to do nothing with any of his works in consequence of my conversations with you while I expected he would give up the lease and to consider those works as still at his sole command. I shall certainly be with you in autumn to get my lines settled. I salute you with my best wishes.
PoC (MHi); endorsed by TJ. Enclosed in TJ to Edward Graham, 10 Mar. 1818.
the bridge: Natural Bridge.
